Editing Hollywood movies is always a bloodbath process. The director wants it like that, the editor wants to do it like so, and the producer just wants them to get on with it so it can be released. So a final release print often resembles a compromise between these desires, whereas a Director's Cut represents a clearer vision that is either better or worse than what precedes it.
But Singer won't be doing any more of these in Hollywood- having fallen from grace a number of years ago for bad behavior...
Probably didn't help that they had a super-rushed schedule. Like, the movie was originally supposed to come out in Winter 2000, but it got moved up to Summer. And its shoot finished in March 2000. So, it basically had 4 months for post-production.
As far as I know, two separate scenes. The one in Origins had him in high school and getting on the teacher's bad side but he already had his powers and there's no bathroom scene.
Why the bathroom specifically?
Never thought about that. Maybe the idea is that his power is similar to puberty and so happens in a place that's supposed to be safe, familiar, and private.

Why were three separate scenes planned to introduce Cyclops' power in a men's bathroom? Should I ask this question??
